My Grandson Is a Dragon Among Men! Ten

Dugu Lin wiped the sweat from his face and said helplessly, "Grandpa, don't arrange a childhood betrothal for me every time you see a pretty girl. There's really no need for that."

Dugu Bo opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more in front of Ye Renxin. He did not intend to let anyone other than himself and his granddaughter know that Dugu Lin had been reborn.

Dugu Lin said with a bitter smile, "Grandpa, how can matters of the heart be forced?"

Seeing Dugu Lin put it that way, Ye Renxin quickly chimed in, "Old monster, look at your grandson. He's far more sensible than you!"

"Fine, fine!" Dugu Bo's lips twitched. After pondering for a moment, he said, "How about this, Old Ye? Leave your granddaughter with me, and in a few days, I'll return her to you with a first spirit ring that's a thousand years old. As for the secret behind it, don't even think about asking."

Ye Renxin considered it briefly before nodding. "That works."

As long as his granddaughter could obtain a thousand-year first spirit ring, he would already owe Dugu Bo an enormous favor. How could he have the nerve to ask about any secrets?

"Also, once your granddaughter absorbs the thousand-year first spirit ring, keep it secret. If it gets out, make sure you have a good excuse to brush it off. Don't reveal the truth."

"Don't worry. Of course."

Ye Renxin had never considered leaking the secret. No one would do something that harmed others and themselves. If he truly did so, he would be offending a Title Douluo to the death! If the secret leaked, Ye Renxin did not know whether Dugu Bo would die, but he and the Ye Clan definitely would.

Both sides understood the consequences of leaking the secret. Yet they shared an unspoken understanding and did not mention them, because bringing it up would only damage their relationship.

Dugu Bo cupped his hands and said, "Hehe, take care. I won't see you out!"

Ye Renxin's lips twitched. He shook his head speechlessly, but did not hold Dugu Bo's immediate dismissal against him.

Just as Ye Renxin rose to his feet, Dugu Bo spoke again. "Oh, right, Old Ye. Think carefully about the childhood betrothal. My grandson is a dragon among men!"

Ye Renxin hesitated. His initial excitement had already calmed, and after some thought, he said, "I'll consider it."

A marriage alliance involved not only tremendous benefits, but also the fact that Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo! If Ye Lingling could become Dugu Bo's granddaughter-in-law, she would never have to worry about her personal safety for the rest of her life.

It had to be said that Dugu Lin was an excellent candidate for a grandson-in-law. Ye Renxin had to admit that.

With that said, Ye Renxin glanced at the childlike Dugu Lin, then turned and left.

After Ye Renxin departed, Dugu Bo asked, "Lin'er, you don't want to marry Ye Lingling? Did something else happen in the future?"

"Uh... Grandpa, what are you thinking? Ye Lingling was an icy, breathtaking beauty pursued by countless people in the future. Of course I wanted to marry her."

"Then why weren't you willing to arrange a childhood betrothal with her? With Grandpa stepping in, that Old Ye would have to agree even if he didn't want to!" Dugu Bo truly had the confidence and backing to say that. His family's grandson had Soul Power at level 23 at the age of six, and they still did not want him. Did that family's granddaughter expect to find an immortal instead?

Dugu Lin said with a speechless expression, "Even so, we can't arrange a childhood betrothal every time we meet someone, right?"

"Well..." Dugu Bo scratched his head awkwardly. Then, changing the subject, he asked, "Oh, right, Lin'er. Grandpa hasn't asked you yet—which pretty young girls were there in the future? Which ones did you like? Grandpa will start looking into them now and help you marry several!"

At the mention of that question, Dugu Lin's heart stirred. He really is my biological grandpa! Just thinking about it is exciting!

So Dugu Lin said, "Let's agree on this first: no childhood betrothals! You'll only help me create opportunities to spend more time with them. With my talent and handsome looks, wouldn't winning their hearts be easy?"

"Fine. Grandpa will listen to you."

"Then I'll start."

"Go ahead."

"Bibi Dong's disciple, Hu Liena. Her Martial Soul is a Demon Fox, and she controls enemies with Charm skills. She's a control-type Spirit Master."

"Bibi Dong's disciple?" Dugu Bo thought seriously for a long time before muttering, "Marrying Bibi Dong's disciple would be somewhat difficult, but it isn't completely impossible! Once you reveal your talent and cultivate your Second Spirit, who in the world could you not marry?"

"Cough, cough... Of course!" Dugu Lin coughed twice. He was determined to win over Hu Liena, that love-struck girl, and had already come up with several plans. One of them was to go to Slaughter City and accompany her through Hell Road. The few years in Slaughter City would be more than enough for him to devour her completely, bones and all.

Perhaps when Hu Liena emerged from Slaughter City, she could even let Bibi Dong hold her disciple-grandchild.

Immediately afterward, Dugu Lin continued, "There's also Shui Bing'er from the future Skywater Academy. Her Martial Soul is an Ice Phoenix. As for her family... I really can't remember who her parents were."

"Her surname is Shui?" Dugu Bo stroked his chin and muttered, "She should be that old fellow Shui Jing's granddaughter. Your grandpa and he are old acquaintances. I heard that his daughter-in-law's Martial Soul was an ice-attributed flying creature. A few years ago, I heard he gained a granddaughter. She should be three years old by now."

"There's also Huo Wu, the daughter of Blazing Fire Academy's headmaster. I like that woman's courage to love and hate."

"The headmaster of Blazing Fire Academy's daughter? His temper is a little fiery... but no problem! Grandpa will set things up for you."

"And Zhu Zhuqing, one of the Shrek Seven Monsters from Shrek Academy."

"Zhu Zhuqing? The Shrek Seven Monsters?" Dugu Bo frowned slightly and asked, "The one you said would become the future empress of the Star Luo Empire?"

"Yes. Grandpa, do you have a way?"

"I do! I absolutely do!" Dugu Bo curled his lips into a smile. "Since our Dugu Family has already pledged allegiance to Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Empire must be destroyed! What's wrong with taking Zhu Zhuqing from them ahead of time?"

Then Dugu Bo pressed on, "Any other young girls?"

"Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Ye Lingling. That makes exactly seven! That's enough for now." Dugu Lin silently recited, First small goal: marry seven!

For now, Dugu Lin did not intend to mention older beauties and little girls like Zi Ji, Bi Ji, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress, lest Dugu Bo get the idea that his grandson liked Soul Beasts. The divide between humans and Soul Beasts was probably something Dugu Bo could not accept yet.

"Huh?" Dugu Bo gave a soft cry and asked, "Didn't you say there was also a little princess from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"You mean Ning Rongrong? Ning Rongrong? Even dogs wouldn't want her!"

"Uh... is she really that disliked? Hahaha!" Dugu Bo was amused, and irritated, all at once.
